Well as far as increasing compression goes I was only planning to face off .005" for a clean-up pass. From what I read .030" is max and if I'm going to have issues with pushrods I'd rather not up the compression too much. This is currently my only work vehicle and I don't want have to take my wife's tC over unless I have to. What would the compression ratio become if I were to go that route and what do you think the hypothetical horsepower increase would be from that added compression?
I had considered ZZP's GT1 cam, the GT2 mentioned issues with the torque converter and that's deeper than I'd like to get into it. ZZP estimates 30 hp with the GT1 which is great and I could have the Auto/Diesel class tackle that for me but it's more than I'd like to spend. Which is why I'd like to do rockers but I'd like to find if there were any that I could remove from another engine that would be close in ratio that may need a little milling to make it work.
As far as the custom HV3 goes I plan to make it a press fit...I'm used to press fits and tight tolerances so that isn't an issue...does it need to be a press fit? Just curious...
Im also a little nervous about getting headers bc I've read somewhere that the extra flow from them reduces back pressure to a point where it actually cause a drop in horsepower but I will def look into it...
Thanks for all the posts and the food for thought
